SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,869, dated May 10,1887.

Application filed December 9, 1886. Serial X0. 221,084}

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. BAYNAR'D, Jr., of the city of Baltimoreand State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements inHeeling-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

It frequently happens in the operation of heeling shoes that it isnecessary to adjust the last on the heeling-post of the machine, inorder to bring the sole portion of the last to a horizontal position orto a required angle of inclination. This change in position of the lastis generally accomplished by placing between the last and the top of thepost collars or strips of leather which are wedge-shaped.

It is evident that this method of adjustment is often the cause ofserious delay; and the object of the present invention is therefore toconstruct the post in such manner as will admit of the angle of itsupper end being rapidly and readily changed without the aid of leatherstrips or collars, as before described. \Vith this View I provide thepost with a movable head, which is preferably hinged thereto, andcombine with these two hinged parts an adj usting device, whereby thehead of the post can be changed in angular position and held supportedfirmly in any of its various positions.

In the further description of the said invention which follows referenceis made to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and inwhich- Figure I is a side elevation of the improved heeling-post and alast which is shown as resting thereon. Figs. 11 and III are reversededge viewsof the post alone. Fig. IV is a top view of the post.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the figures.

In the said drawings, A represents the heeling-post, which is adapted tofit in the heelingmachine, which is not shown.

To the upper end of the post A is hinged the head 13, and the hinge,which is shown particularly in Fig. I, is represented by (L. The head Bis provided with the usual pin, 7), over which the last 0 is placed.

(No model.)

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the head ofthe post is free to be moved or vibrated on the pin 0 of the hinge, tochange the angle of inclination of its upper face, for the purposebefore described. The means whereby the head is or may be adjusted canconsist of any suitable device, such as a screw or wedge; but I preferthe co|nbination of devices which I will now describe. The post on oneside thereof is provided with the lugs d (l, and these lugs have holes 0c, which extend longitudinally of the post, as shown.

D is a bolt inserted in the holes 6 e, and E is a wedge or tapering key,which is inserted in a slot extending transversely of the lower lug, (1,upon which the lower end of the bolt D rests. This wedge or key, whendriven forward or backward, raises or lowers the bolt D and changes theangle of the surface of the head B.

A washer, F, held to the smaller end of the key E by means of a serew,f,serves to prevent the enlirc withdrawal of the key from its slot.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a lreclingdnachine, the post thereofhaving a head. hinged thereto and adjustable in angle of inclination,combined with a bolt to support the said head and a key or wedge tosustain the said bolt, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a heeling-machine, the post thereof having perforated projectionson one side thereof and a hinged head, combined with a supporting-bolt,which is adjustable in height in the said projections, adapted tosustain the said head, and a wedge or key situated in one of the saidprojections, adapted to support the said bolt, substantially as and forthe purpose specified.
